New York, Nov. 6 An in-bound
Philadelphia train on t,hn Pennsyl

a trestle near the Jersey City term
inal. Five persons were killed and scores
injured, many of them seriously.
Cars were splintered into stacks of
debris. The engineer and fireman
on both engines were killed, and one
passenger besides, according to re
ports made to the police.
The smoking car was almost de
molished, and the passengers were
tossed about and buried under the
wreckage. (
The collision was head-on. The
passenger train was sweeping across
the trestle at Brunswick street and
Railroad avenue, half a mile from
the end of the line, when an open
switch sen it on to the wrong track.
The, train swung over to the inner
out-hound track when a lipht engine
and tender were but a few yards dis
tant, making good speed in the op
posite direction. Before either en
gineer could make a move, the crash
came.
The boiler of the passenger engine
exploded at the moment of the im
pact. The forward part of the first
car of the train was blown to bits.
Not a passenger in that enr escaped
Injury of some sort.
Within a short time after the col
lision every ambulance In Jersey City
had been rushed to the scene, and pa
trol wagons sent from manv stations
reinforced them. A force of wreck
ers was quickly established, and the
task of searching the debru for vic
time taken up within a few minutes
after the smash.
Joseph Thome, a music publisher,
of Newark, a passenger on the train,
who occupied a seat in the fifth car,
next to the last of the six-car train,
was one of those who escaped in-,

at Newark. I noticed before board

smoker, directly in the rear of the
baggage car, was filled, and a num
ber of men were standing In the
aisle. The other cars, which were

reached Newark, were completely
filled when the train pulled out.
"Everything went well until we
were outside of the Pennsylvania
terminal at Jersey City.
"Of a sudden there was a fearful
shock, the cars quivering, windows
were smashed, and I was hurled head-,
first over two seats, landing with a
number of women and men in a heap
on the floor. Several of tho women
and a number of the men were cut

(Special to The TlnieKi
Newbern, Nov. 6 One hundred
and fifty men, including machinists,
carpenters, blacksmiths, painters,
and other mechanics, stand idle in
New Hern today, due to the complete
destruction of the Norfolk & South
ern Railroad shops early this morn-,
ing.
The fire was the greatest in vol
ume and entailing the greatest loss
the city has experienced in the last
half century. The fire was discov
ered ,at 2:30 a. m., in the stationery
fire-room of the works, and while
the department responded promptly
it never abated till the shops, except
the paint shop and store-room, was
wiped out. The loss consists of the
round-house, machine shops, black
smith shops, foundry and planing
mill, which is estimated to entail a
loss ot $200,000 deducting the insur
ance. Added to this is the total loss
of two locomotives Nos.' 114 and 41,
two couches, Nos. 207 and 214; two
box cars and two dining cars, the lat
ter just completed, to be used on the
Norfolk branch and serve passengers
in crossing Albemarle sound when
the bridge Is completed.
The department, was handicapped,
owing to the fire being inside of brick
walls, and comparatively light pres
sure, and hose bursting several times.
Besides the loss to the railroad was
the tools of the mechanics, which is
said will reach $5,000. many of whom
feel this more than the loss of em
ployment., while the business inter
ests of New Bern will have deducted
from their sales the greater part of
about $8,000 per month.
The destruction moans a heavy
blow to New Bern.
